The Chemin de la Corniche is a pedestrian promenade in Luxembourg City, running along the edge of the old town's fortifications. It is also known as Europe's Most Beautiful Balcony, a name that reflects what most visitors come for: the view.
What you see
From the path, the Alzette valley opens below you, and the Grund district sits in the river bend. Along the way the old city's fortifications come into view, so the walk gives you a panoramic sense of how the historic centre is built into its steep land.
What kind of visit it makes
- A short, easy stroll on foot, suited to most visitors.
- A good stop for photographs, especially for those interested in the city's layout and its old walls.
- A place to pause between visits to the centre and the lower districts.
Because the promenade is a landmark rather than an enclosed site, there is no admission to plan for; you simply walk it and take in the views at your own pace.
Getting there
The promenade is on Chemin de la Corniche in Luxembourg City, 1917. If you want to confirm details before you go, the listed contact number is +352 22 28 09.
